Iberico ham is highly recognised, and this recognition is well deserved for its exquisite taste. Iberico ham comes from Iberico pig, a native pig from the Iberian Peninsula. The Iberico pig is the Iberico breed of pig which gives rise to a wide variety of pork meats such as: ham, loin, chorizo, salchichon (spiced sausage similar to salami) and other type of sausages of excellent quality in the Spanish market.

How can a leg of ham make a person so happy? Forget that raw ham sold in other shops for 30 euro and buy a high-quality Duroc pig ham.
